CAPABILITY CARD · Healthcare

The Dental Hygienists capability card.

One link that proves what you do — the work, the tools, the market, and the path to better contracts.

There are 222,740 dental hygienists in the U.S. The ones who win the work a buyer actually budgets for don't hand over a flat PDF — they send a living capability card. Built and maintained by our New Jersey team.

What your card proves

The work a buyer needs to see at a glance.

A client or contracting officer scanning ten dental hygienists wants fast proof you actually do the work. These are the core duties O*NET ties to your field — your capability card turns them into scannable proof points instead of a wall of text.

Feel and visually examine gums for sores and signs of disease.

Nationally, 222,740 dental hygienists earn a median of $98,100 a year (BLS OEWS, May 2024). In a market that size, the businesses that win the better work don't lead with the lowest number — they lead with a credible, current capability card. That's exactly what we build.

The government-contracting edge

Where the steady budgets actually are.

Federal agencies obligated $5.1B in Offices of Physicians (except Mental Health Specialists) contracts in FY2024 (USAspending.gov). When a contracting officer or prime sizes up a small business, a living capability card — cert status, NAICS coverage, SAM registration, core offerings, all current — is exactly what they expect to see. We build yours to land in that lane.
